How to data log graphs using front panel data logging?

[fyork1978]

Hello I have a VI that collects data from DAQmx thermocouple readings and graphs the temperature vs time using a while loop to collect data and graph. I have 9 control operators that define the correction factor of the thermocouples.

I want to create a datalogging using the option under Operations>Data Logging

When I retrieve the data the only information that is present are the control operators correction factors that I defined. The graphed data that was created is not retrieved.

Is there a solution to show the graphed data plots that were created on the front panel? They remain unchanged from the last run of the VI or blank if I open the VI without having ran the program.

Thank you.

This is expected for the Data Logging in LabVIEW. If you want to record the signla data, use the Write to Measurement File Express VI.  

The Data Logging from the Operate Menu is for recording front panel control(s), as you have observed.
